One of the best Nsurg texts I have ever seen!
This is one of the best nsurg textbooks I have seen, and I have looked at a number of basic nsurg texts. I am looking from a med student level with interest in pursuing nsurg as a specialty and it is a fantastic, well written, easy read that gives you all of the most current and critical information about neurosurgical conditions and cases. I think this text is great for beginning residents as well. Second only to Greenberg, but Greenberg (Handbook of Nsurg) is a different type of book with only clinical patient management essentials while this book will truly flesh out your prowess as a neurosurgical resident.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Well worth the money! One of my favorite books!
